United Help Ukraine's Defender's Aid Program provides supplies such as boots, helmets, protective equipment, and tactical first aid kits to first responders and members of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Territorial Defence Forces, National Guard, law enforcement agencies, and volunteer units. In addition, UHU donates thermal wear, drones, radios, generators, satellite communications devices, and evacuation vehicles for those on the frontlines. Since the program's inception in 2014, UHU has distributed more than 45,000 tactical first aid kits, 130,000 tourniquets, 4,000 bulletproof vests, and 4,000 helmets. First aid supplies include QuikClot wound dressings to stop heavy bleeding. When you donate to United Help of Ukraine - you help us save thousands of lives of those who are on the frontlines now. In addition, UHU has sponsored tactical-medicine training for more than 4,500 defenders and recently opened a new United Help Ukraine TacMed training center with the capacity to provide certified training for about 1,000 defenders and combat medics per month. “Through our Defender's Aid Program, we are able to provide vital supplies to support the brave individuals fighting every day for Ukrainian sovereignty and the freedom of the Ukrainian people.”  Maryna Baydyuk, President, UHU.

United Help Ukraine’s Medical Aid Program provides supplies and equipment to state-run and military hospitals across Ukraine. We also help cover medical expenses for wounded service members and veterans. United Help Ukraine offers additional support for living and travel costs for those who require long-term treatment. Two smaller components of the program promote the Mental Wellness of civilians traumatized by war and the Wounded Warrior. We pay for travel to the U.S. for amputee defenders in need of prostheses, physical therapy, and emotional support. Through purchases, partnerships, and in-kind donations from the U.S. and abroad, we obtain and distribute everything from syringes to ventilators and other life-saving operating-room equipment. The State of Maryland donated several ventilators that we transported to hospitals in need. This program also provides triage-training funds to help medical providers in Ukraine handle mass casualty events. UHU has a joint venture with the Syrian American Medical Association in Washington, D.C., and the Ukrainian Medical Association called Project 22. This collaboration supplies a network of 22 hospitals on the front lines with resources to handle mass casualties. “Medical aid is incredibly crucial during this time of intense conflict, and our Medical Aid Program allows us to provide much-needed, life-saving supplies to hospitals and other medical facilities across Ukraine.” Maryna Baydyuk, President, UHU.

United Help Ukraine's Humanitarian Welfare Program supports internally displaced persons (IDPs) and other civilians. We provide food, clean water (especially in besieged areas), and everyday necessities. In addition, UHU distributes power generators and vehicles for first responders and rescuers. Most part of these goods were kindly donated in the U.S. and shipped to Ukraine.  While our Defender's Aid focuses on supporting Ukrainian defenders, the humanitarian welfare program continuously supports the people of Ukraine. In July 2023, UHU funded the delivery of a mobile blood-collection vehicle to the First Medical Association in Lviv, Ukraine. The nonprofit organization Carter BloodCare of Texas donated this vehicle that enables increasing donations of blood to save the lives of Ukrainian defenders. “The lifeblood of our nation has always been its people. Our Humanitarian Welfare Program allows us to provide food, water, and other critical supplies directly to those who are most in need so they may continue to survive during this time of war.” Maryna Baydyuk, President, UHU.

United Help Ukraine’s Awareness, Advocacy, and Community Engagement Campaign increases understanding of what’s happening in Ukraine and its implications for the world. We support Ukraine and advocate for Ukrainian freedom, independence, democracy, and postwar reconstruction.  In the summer of 2023, we organized a U.S. tour for top Ukrainian band Probass ∆ Hardi. The main goal behind this concert tour was to provide humanitarian aid for the people of Ukraine. The band also performed on UHU’s float in the National Independence Day Parade in Washington, D.C. We represented Ukraine and thanked the American people for their ongoing support of Ukraine. “Core to our efforts is ensuring we have community support and engagement. United Help Ukraine works globally to continue raising awareness around the events on the ground in Ukraine and encourage support for our defenders." Maryna Baydyuk, President, UHU.
